10. Key take-aways
WITHOUT CUCUMBER
- The testing code gets simpler
- We can still have descriptive test cases
(using the key-words Given/When/Then)
- We can talk the same "language" as the
developers (JavaScript)
- By knowing how to use JavaScript, we can
have tests that iterate over lists to save
us lines of code
- By using the cypress-grep plugin, we can
run tests by their tags
